The Consolation Game... (vs. Broadus)

We started very well with an 8-0 start, which caused them to call a timeout with 6:11 on the clock to stop our fun. Both teams were playing pretty wll compared to their usual, or atleast of what I have seen. The score at the end of thee firs quarter was 17-11. During the second quarter we got on another run causing them to call another timeout, with the score being 24-13 and the time out at 5:32. During the first 11 minutes we only had 1 foul, which was amazing. We played pretty well during the game, and they didn't so we won by at least 10 points, but I lost my score card as it is , so I will just try to remember the points, but Thats all.

Stats:
Amanda 1=2pointer, 6=3pointers for a total of 20 points
Kellee=14 points
Cassidy= 12 points
Kristia=10 points
Megan=5points
Someone=1 point

Team Totals
15=2pointers
9=3pointers
5=free throws

Sorry for the lack of information on the last game, but we won any way so that is good.

We also stayed for the Malta Fairfield game. It was very exciting and loud. They are big rivals. Malta was undefeated during the season, but Fairfield ended up winning it by 7 or 9. Fairfield have a girl that is 6'4" and several that are about 6'. Both of them are so much better than us, that I think they might have a chance of competing with some A or AA schools from Montana.

Thats all for now,

Travis, and thanks for giving me a constructive reason to be on the computer...

State Game 3 for Us. (vs. Big Timber for a place in the consolation game.)

The game started good for us as we made several baskets and got a small lead early in the game. The game was nearly silent, because there weren't very many people watching it. Makenzie Foster wsn't shut down by Cassidy like she ws when we played them for the divisional title. At the end of the first quarter the score was 15-8. Things weren't clicking as well for us as they had, so they did better than they should have. 44 for their team was pretty tall compared to our girls, so she made A LOT OF REBOUNDS. They beat us by nearly double the rebounds. We airballed 3 3-pointers in a row and weren't feeling too well. The game was tied at 17-17 in the middle of the second quarter. They got at least 6 rebounds while they were shooting without us disrupting them. At halftime the score was 24-18. We really didn't rebound well at all, so they caught up again with a score of 27-27. Then they were a little ahead for a while, until we again tied them 36-36. With 1:05 left in the game, the scoer was 42-39 so we started to waste some time. Cassidy got fouled several times and made her bonus free throws. The game ended with a final score of 46-41. WE WON!!! HuRay....

Stats:
Cassidy 3=2pointers, 2=3pointers, 1 foul, and 6 freethrows for a total of 18 points
Amanda 4=2pointers, 1=3pointer, 2 fouls, and 2 freethrows for a total of 13 points
Kristie 3=2pointers, 4=fouls, and 1 free throw for a total of 7 points
Megan 1=2pointer, 1=3pointer, and 1 foul for a total of 5 points.
The rest didn't have any points, but some fouls.

Sorry, but my stats were a little off for this game.

Team totals:
11=2 pointers
4=3 pointers
12=fouls
9=free throws

I think I will be cruel and leav you with this, even though the consolation game is over, sorry...
It is late, so I will update the last game in the morning, here that is.

Second and possibly second to last State game.

This game was against the undefeated Malta M-Ettes. We got the jump ball, but then we didn't play well. We made bad passes and got of to a very bad start. the score was 2-9 with 5:00 minutes left in the first quarter. Then Cassidy stole it and made a layup. The quarter score was 10-18. We made several three pointers, but they were matched directly by Malta with their next possession. They kept driving in and makig easy layups, because they were a little taller than us. They got into bonus with 1:43 left in the half. The score at half was 19-31. We gave them turnover after turnover and we were playing very badly, but it also might have been because they were playing good and pressuring us a lot. They kept pressing us even when they were ahead by a lot. They finally stopped pressing when the score was 33-55 in the last quarter. The Third quarters score was 33-55. They finally put in their JV when they were beating us 66-38 with 2:31 in the game left. We put in our Jv shortly following that and we ended the game as bad as we started with their JV outscoring ours 7-0. The final score was 38-73. OUCH!!!

Stats:
Kristie 6=2pointers, 4 freethrows and 5 fouls for a total of 16 points
Amanda 3=2pointers, and 1=3pointers and 1 foul for a total of 9 points
Cassidy 2=2pointers, 1=3pointer, and 5 fouls for a low total of 7 points
Kellee 1=3pointer, 1 freethrow, and 2 fouls for a total of 4 points
Kim 1=2pointer, and one foul for a total of 2 points

Team totals:
2 pointers=12
3 pointers=3
fouls=14

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!@#$%#!#%$@!$@!!!!

We didn't do so good. :")

First round at State (vs. Florence)

This game was at 12:30 on thrusday. The girls left wednesday evening, but the rest of the people left the next day. The game started slowly, but then something exciting happened. Brittney tore her ACL on one of her legs. She already had a brace on the other one, because she tore that one last year before the girls went to state. So, this year Brittney got to play a total of 1:23 at state. Then Kim came in for her. We weren't playing very well, so it was pretty even. The game was fast paced for both sides, but neither made many shots. We took the lead when we scored 2 3pointers in a row. Cassidy kept kicking it when they were trying to inbound it, so there were a lot of inbounding plays. At the end of the first quarter the score was 16-6. Hailey didn't do too well, and they scored over her 2 times in a row. We got into bonus with 1:12 left in the first half. At the end of the half the score was 28-17. We played better during the second half, but it was boring to watch, because we were ahead by quite a bit. At the end of the third quarter the score was 43-27. One of the amazing things for this game was that Kristie had only one foul for the first three quarters combined. She had a total of two, which is the lowest that I have ever seen her make. Cassidy had a lot of two pointers at the begining of the game and Kristie had a lot of two pointers at the end of the game. Their JV came in with 2:06 left, and ours tried to come in, but the clock kept going so finally Kerry had to call a time out so they could play a little bit. The final score was 55-36.

Stats:
Cassidy 5=2pointers 1=3pointer 5=freethrows and 1fouls for a total of 18 points
Kellee 2=2pointers 2=3pointers 5=freethrows and 3fouls for a total of 15 points
Kristie 5=2pointers 2=freethrows and 2 fouls for a total of 12 points
Amanda 2=3pointers and 2 fouls for a total of 6 points
Hailey 1=2pointer and 1foul for 2points
Bobbi 1=freethrow and 1foul for one point
Asheli 1 freethrow for one point

Team Totals:
2-pointers=13
3-pointers=5
Freethrows=14
Fouls=11(wow)

We will leave right after school to go to the game against another first ranked Malta. They are really good, so it should be a tough game, especially since Brittney is out for the rest of the year.

test

well i got a sweet little device that has wifi capabilities and i am just seeing how long it takes to type a little bit on here and it is actually going a lot faster than i thought but my fingers are a bit too large so i will have to just use two styluses tat is all for my test. bye bye for now. It is called an archos 605wifi if you were wondering.

Divisional Championship Game Spoiler: We Won (Vs. Big Timber)

The game was at the Columbus High School at 8:00 p.m. The game started by winning the jump ball. We hit a 3 pointer at the begining of the gmae. We started off playing ok, but not as spectacular as the Huntley Project first half or the Manhattan Christian game. Big Timber had a press that started by working pretty well, until we finally caught on that we had to use a press breaker. The first quarter ended with us being down 12-13. During the second quarter, we played pretty sloppy, but we got in bonus with 3:45 left in the half, so we were able to make some free throws. Both teams were pretty even, through the half. The half ended with us up 18-16. Then in the second half we started to play better and got up even more. Then we played worse with some bad passes and such. Amanda Reed got a pretty good stuff, and Brittney got called a foul, when it looked like the other player just tripped. At the end of the third quarter the score was 31-24. We kept getting fouled, so we were able to make quite a few free throws, but Kellee fouled several times and they also got into bonus at 5:07 left in the game. With about 4 minutes left we started to stall, because we were ahead by about 10 points. We played well at the end, and got into double bonus, which allowed Cassidy to make some free throws. We won the game by 14 with a final score of 49-35. We will now be going to state, which is in Hamilton. There we will first play Florence, and if we win, we will probably play Malta that was the first ranked Northern Team. I expected Fairfield to win Northern, but they were beat in the Championship game by a couple of points. The first game is at 12:30 for us, but I don't know if the band will be going, or if I will even if the band goes.

Stats:
Cassidy had 4 2-pointers, 8 free throws, and 2 fouls for a total of 16 points
Kristie had 5 2pointers, 5 free throws, and 3 fouls for a total of 15 points
Kellee had 2 2pointers, 1 3pointer, 2 free throws, and 4 fouls for a total of 9 points
Amanda had 2 3pointers, 2 free throws, and 2 fouls for a total of 8 points
The rest of the players only had fouls and no points.

Team totals:
2pointers=11, 3pointers=3, freethrows=17, and fouls=16

This time I think my stats were better than the last game.

I didn't play the French Horn, so I felt sort of bad, but I went with the band anyway.

Game two and Divisionals.(vs. Huntley "Project")

The game started out amazing for us. We won the jump, and Kristie went down and mad a quick 3 pointer. Then we scored two 2 pointers to make the score 7-0 with 7:17 left in the quarter. We kept scoring and the score was 15-0 with 3:35 left in the first quarter. Their first points were a 3 pointer that came from number ten, who would score most of their points. At the end of the first quarter it was 17-3. We kept getting lucky, and making our shots, while they kept getting unlucky and missing theirs. There were a lot of jump balls for us that could have been fouls with another referee. Kristie missed a buzzer beater 3 pointer and we ended the half 34-13. That was the best again that I have seen them play, even better than against Manhattan Christian. The opposing team started to play a lot better the next half. We also started to play a lot worse. they were starting to catch up at the end of the 3rd quarter. The score was 40-24. Kristie fouled out while they made the basket and the extra. Cassidy missed here two free throws from the fouls, and we were surprised. Huntley Project had an 8-0 scoring run, and they kept playing better. The game just kept getting worse. The score was 48-41 with 1:14 left to play. then they caught up even more and the score was 49-47 with 26 seconds left. We stepped it up a little, which was enough for us to pull out ahead, but it was really close, and if we have another game like that half we won't win the Championship, which is Saturday at 8:00. Another long day in Billings.
Torey says HI. 8~)
Stats(sort of, because I messed up my stats a little.)
Cassidy 23 points and 3 fouls.
Kellee 10 points and 2 fouls.
Kristie 7 points and 5 fouls :>(
Amanda 7 Points and 1 foul.

They scored 13 in the first half and 34 in the second. Wow...!!>

We had the best and worst halves that I have seen. It was Close!!!!!!

Snow.

Yesterday as we started to load the buses, it started to snow. It snowed quite a while, and when we were driving the weather was pretty nasty. It snowed some during the night, and now there are about 5-8 inches here in Columbus. We might not get to go to Billings to the mall, so we might just have to play Monopoly here at the Hotel. We are staying at the Super 8 in Columbus. Last night we played for the tournament and then we dropped off our stuff at the hotel. Then we went to the McDonald's, which is within walking distance from the hotel. It is probably100 yards away. The school paid for the meal, up to $7.00. I bought a three piece Chicken selects, but I couldn't eat them very well. It took me 15 minutes to eat just one. I also had a strawberry milkshake. When I was eating the chicken one of my stitches felt like it was coming out. Well anyway this isn't really about the tournament, but I am bored and there is a computer here so I will give you updates of the mundane events ever so often.

The First Divisional Game (vs. Broadus)

The game started at 6:30 on Thursday evening. We left school at 2:30 and arrived here in Columbus at about 5:30. I couldn't play today, but maybe by Saturday. (Hopefully) The game started slowly. Very slowly. The first points of the game was at 5:07. Cassidy made her two free throws. At the end of the first quarter it was 12-4. We played pretty sloppy and they were into bonus with 3:24 left in the second quarter. At the end of the first half the score was 21-13. Kristie had multiple bad passes in a row, and they started to catch up. Cassidy made two quick baskets due to Brittney's good inbounding. The third quarter went good, and we had a 9-0 point run to end the third quarter. The third quarter ended 35-19. They kept playing good, and we had double bonus to our advantage with 5:08 left in the game. They played good, but then got sloppy again, and then the Hawks started to catch up. We were too far ahead for their run to do much, so they didn't have much luck. We put our freshman and JV sophomore in with 1:50 left in the game. They wasted time and finished the game. It ended 55-42.

Stats:
Team totals: 15=2 pointers, 3=3pointers (all Cassidy), 17=fouls, and 16=free throws.
The high scorer was Kristie with 19 points made of 6= 2 pointers, and 7 free throws.
Cassidy had 3 =2pointers and 3 =3pointers and 2 freethrows.

Well anyway we won and the next game we play at will be at 8:00 p.m. tomorrow, so we will waste a lot of time.

Districts Championship

The game that was in Belgrade at 6:00 against Manhattan Christian, who was ranked first in our district.

The game started well, with us getting up, 13-4 after four minutes of playing. We played pretty well, and didn't have the normal gobs of turnovers. At the end of the first quarter the score was 23-13, but we had six fouls, which was only one away from bonus. Then, after we got 8 fouls, MCHS caught up and passed us with fouls. They started to play a little worse, but we were still ahead. At Half time the score was 41-28. Brittney made a layup buzzer shot to end the half. At the begining of the second half, Amanda Reed made a 3 pointer, followed shortly by another from Cassidy. They were still playing well. Kim Henderson (the C-squad/JV freshman) went in at the end of the third quarter. The score was then 65-37. At the begining of the fourth quarter, we started to play slopy, which was like all of the Whitehall Girls games that I had seen before that. We were still way ahead, so it didn't matter that we picked up even more fouls. MCHS took all of their Varsity players out, giving up, with 2:36 left in the game. Then we put our non-Varsity players in shortly after that. Hailey made a three pointer that was somewhat close to the end, and we crushed them 69-48 in the end.

Stats: Inorder fo scoring

Cassidy 6=two pointers, 3=3pointers, 2=fouls, and 3 freethrows for a total of 24 points.

Amanda 2=2pointers, 3=3pointers, 2=fouls, for a total of 13 points

Kristie 4=2pointers, 3=fouls(she finally didn't foul out) 5-freethrows, for a total of 13 points

Kellee 1=3pointer, 2=fouls, 9=freethrows for a total of 12 points

Hailey 1=3pointer, and one foul, for a total of 3 points

Megan 1=2pointer and a foul for a total of 2 points

Brittney 1=2pointer and 2 fouls for a total of 2 points

Bobbi 3=fouls for a total of 0 points

Team totals

14=2pointers

8=3pointers

17=freethrows

16=fouls

It was by far the best I have ever seen our girls play. They played like boys, by not passing bad all the time and shooting bad all the time. Too bad it wasn't exiting. We got a trophy thing for first place at districts. It was Amazing!!! I hope they play like that at divisionals.!!!..!!!....

The boys played in the consolation round, and went into over time against the second seeded Boulder. we lost in over time, but it was a very exiting game. Levi had 48 points in the game, partly because he was a ball hog, but he is by far the best on the team. It was like 72-68 or somithing like that.

Game 2 of Districts

Sorry, I would have posted this on the blog, but they updated their site and I couldn't log on for some reason. This game took place at Belgrade Event Center at 4:30. It was against THREE FORKS *Duh Duh Duh (In sucessively lower notes*.

The game started decently and we were up 4-0 4 minutes into the first quarter. Then we made two fouls on their shots, both of which happened to go in, and they made thier free throws making it 4-6. We made it to eight, then they outscored us 13-0 for the end of the first quarter and the begining of the second. We passed, shot, and shot 3-pointers badly, contributing to us being down at the half 13-25. The next half started off really well, with us being aggressive, but not so much as to get fouls, just to steal the ball. Then for about 5 minutes both teams made some and missed some, so they were still ahead by about the same. Kristie Baker then was fouled on her shot and made the free throw and the shot. This happened again and we started to catch up. Cassidy Wendell held the ball over her head while talking to Kerry, and the ball was stolen and they made an easy layup. We got the ball stolen again, but this time they missed and Cassidy got the rebound. They fouled Cassidy when we were in bonus, and she made both of her free throws. They did that again, so we passed them. We were ahead 33-32 with 3:37 left on the clock. Cassidy finally made a threepointer, and got fouled again, so we stayed ahead. Kristie fouled out(she does most of the time) ,but we won anyway. The final Score was 43-37.

Stats: Cassidy had 16 points and one foul. Kristie had 12 points and 5 fouls. Amanda had 9 points and 3 fouls. Bobbi had no points and 1 foul. Kellee had 6 points and 3 fouls( all in the first quarter). And Brittany had 2 fouls and no points. Our team made at least 75% of their free throws, and had a total of 15 free throws made and 15 fouls committed.

This win put them in the championship against Manhattan Christian at 6:00 Saturday evening.

The Boys lost by 4 points to Three Forks, and will now play in the losers bracket at 9:00 a.m., so we have to leave early for band. They will play Manhattan.

Well, I got it working some how!??!!?!?!

Game One: Girls Districts

Wednesday, February 18, 2009.

At Belgrade Event Center

Vs. Manhattan @ 4:30 p.m.

The game started and we had a pretty good lead. We scored first with a three pointer. The first score that I can remember was 12-3. At the end of the first quarter, Hailey Turk made a buzzer three pointer shot. This game I wasn't really paying attention, but next game I will have better stats. Cassidy Wendell had a pretty good game, but I'm not sure of the exact points. Kim Henderson (freshman) went in with 1:13 left in the 3rd quarter, and the other two C squad and Jv players went in in the fourth Quarter. Kim used her stealing abilities to get a chance at an easy layup, but she missed. She later made some points and Ashlei Huckaba (sophomore) did as well. We were ahead 50-27, but they caught up after we took out our Varsity players and ended with 55-43. We will now play Three Forks at 4:30 on Friday.

P.S. I like to do Blogs, and I will Keep you updated to all of the Whitehall Games that I attend. Also, nextime I will have some better numbers for you.
